Question

Glass rod when rubbed with a silk cloth acquires ___ charge and the silk cloth acquires ___ charge.

• A. positive, positive
• B. positive, negative
• C. negative, positive
• D. negative, negative

The correct option is B positive, negative

When you are rubbing a glass rod with a silk cloth, electrons are stripped away from the atoms in the glass rod and transferred to the silk cloth. This leaves the glass rod with a positive charge and the silk cloth with a negative charge.
